The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 990 - 85: You Don’t Want the Money, Nor the Woman?
Chapter 990: Chapter 85: You Don’t Want the Money, Nor the Woman?
Outside the door, Freya stretched languidly, revealing her slender waist impossible to grasp with one hand, along with the deep, unfathomable scar on her chest, and replied with a brimming smile:
"It’s rare for someone as busy as you to have time for a heart-to-heart with them in private. I, an outsider, should naturally avoid intruding."
"Outsider? Your words seem to carry another meaning," Luo En frowned.
"You don’t know yet? Those three are to be your dedicated maids from now on, responsible for taking care of your daily needs, and... warming your bed."
Freya blinked, teasing with a chuckle,
"It’s better to connect emotionally in advance, so when the time comes, they won’t be too nervous to spread their legs for you."
Hearing such a blatantly crude tease, Luo En’s face darkened involuntarily.
Ever since Freya transitioned to become the God of Love, although she still maintained a cool and elegant demeanor in public, in private, she was increasingly resembling a hooligan.
Luo En gave Freya a cool glance and snorted:
"A command from Odin?"
"Mhm-hm."
Freya made a pleased humming sound, the intention behind it self-evident.
Luo En raised his hand to massage his temples, frowning as he asked:
"What about Brynhild?"
"She was unsuccessful in her duties and has been banished to the Iron Forest, to guard the Northern Border Wall."
Freya answered casually, a flash of pity in her eyes.
Luo En pinched the bridge of his nose, sighing helplessly.
After so many years, Odin was still the same—using people to their face, discarding them behind their backs.
Seeing Brynhild return empty-handed, not fulfilling his commands, he turned his back on her, casting his own daughter to the hardships of the Northern Realm and sent three other Valkyries to serve him.
Among them was even his own granddaughter.
Too utilitarian, too devoid of sentiment—that was Odin’s strength and his weakness.
"Send those three back. I’m capable with my own hands and feet; I don’t need them to look after me," Luo En waved his hand, commanding.
"You want to send them to keep Brynhild company?" Freya asked back.
Luo En massaged his sore temples, somewhat exasperated: "Can’t you leave me in peace?"
"Who told you to wake up and run around everywhere, getting tangled up with the Queen of the Elf Clan, the Princess of Midgard, and the Dwarf Princess, and stubbornly refusing to return to Asa? Seeing you grow closer to them, how could Odin stay at ease?"
Freya said teasingly,
"In any case, you’re already so close with those women, a few more don’t make a difference."
"What if I insist on refusing?"
Instead of responding directly, Freya asked with deep meaning,
"Tell me, if someone has the power to shake the balance of the Nine Realms but desires neither wealth nor carnal pleasures, what does he want?"
Luo En remained silent, obviously knowing the answer.
This isn’t some moral role model competition. The more an outcast he appears among the Asgard Pantheon of Gods, uninterested in wealth and beauty, the more likely he’s misunderstood as having "ambitions beyond his station."
And a person who rises above base desires and has no weaknesses is, to a ruler, inevitably a tremendous threat—
——especially when he has the power to overturn the table.
So, the best way for yourself to put the Asgardian Pantheon of Gods, led by Odin, at ease is to tarnish your image, to reveal one or two vices.
Forget it, Odin’s olive branch is practically smoking from being waved so much; might as well accept it.
I’ll just consider it fulfilling the responsibilities of the Valkyrie Corps Commander, providing guidance to these juniors.
After mentally preparing himself, Luo En dropped the subject of returning the maids and turned to Freya to ask:
"Do you have the Heart of Mountains with you?"
"This?"
Under Luo En’s gaze, Freya reached into her cleavage to rummage around, and pulled out a treasure diamond the size of an egg, radiating rainbow hues from within.
At this moment, the Treasure Diamond was set into a crystal necklace, becoming the most dazzling piece of jewelry on Freya, adding a touch of dignity and splendor to the Goddess of Love and Beauty.
Luo En darkened his face and quipped:
"You’re quick to action, wearing the things meant for me before I even get to touch them?"
"What’s yours and mine, it’s for everyone. The son of the Old Dwarf King was lucky to return from the Netherworld with his life, and my efforts were not insignificant. How about wearing it for a few days?"
Freya retorted with annoyance and cast a sidelong glance at Luo En,
"And don’t forget, it took a lot of effort for me to send Eden to your bed."
"Had you not mentioned, I would have indeed forgotten."
Luo En’s face grew darker as he snorted,
"Thanks to you, Odin is almost becoming a pimp, eager to send women my way."
"Sending women is better than sending you gold and treasures, or simply a knife, wouldn’t you agree?"
"Are you suggesting I should be thanking you then?"
"No thanks needed. I’ve already received my gift."
Freya replied with a grin, playing fondly with the Aken Treasure Diamond.
Luo En unceremoniously extended his hand:
"Wishful thinking, give it back!"
"No way!"
Freya instantly refused, shaking her head. She tucked the Aken Treasure Diamond into her bosom and slipped back into the bedroom.
Seeing her resolute defiance, Luo En walked into the room, compromising with resignation:
"Alright, hand over the Aken Treasure Diamond to me. In return, I’ll personally design, and the Dwarf Clan will forge, an even more exquisite piece of jewelry specifically for you, made from the finest Gold."
In Nordic Mythology, whether it’s God Queen Freya or Love Goddess Freya, both have a mysterious passion for gold and jewelry made from it.
In another space and time, they even left behind quite a few dark histories concerning gold.
